Abstract: This document relates to materials and methods for assessing and/or treating subjects (e.g., subjects having autoimmune diseases). For example, materials and methods for determining if a subject (e.g., a human having an autoimmune disease) has one or more antibodies that can be used to identify the subject as having a lower risk of cancer or as having a higher risk of cancer are provided. Materials and methods for treating a subject (e.g., a human) identified as having a higher cancer risk for cancer are also provided.

Abstract: Autoimmune diseases are thought to be initiated by exposures to foreign antigens that cross-react with endogenous molecules. Analyses of peripheral blood lymphocytes and serum suggested that mutations in autoimmune antigen targets sparked cellular immunity and cross-reactive humoral immune responses. Acquired immunity to autoimmune antigens can help control naturally occurring cancers.

Abstract: In one aspect, lubricant compositions are described herein. In some embodiments, a lubricant composition described herein comprises a grease and milled metal sulfide particles dispersed in the grease. In other cases, a lubricant composition described herein comprises a grease, polytetrafluroethylene particles, zinc dithiophosphate, and molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate, wherein the polytetrafluroethylene particles, zinc dithiophosphate, and molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate are dispersed in the grease.

Abstract: A multivalent anthelmintic vaccine targets both hookworm and schistosomiasis. The vaccine includes, at a minimum, a recombinant third-stage larval hookworm antigen, a recombinant adult stage hookworm antigen, and a recombinant schistosome antigen. Preferably, the hookworm antigens are Necator americanus antigens, although antigens from other hookworm species (e.g. Ancylostoma duodenale) may also be employed. The schistosome antigen is preferably a Schistosoma mansoni or a Schistosoma haematobium antigen although antigens from other schistosome species (e.g. Schistosoma japonicum) may also be employed. In some cases full or partial sequences of schistosome antigens may be fused with full or partial sequences of hookworm {Necator americanus) to produce recombinant chimeric antigens.
